First it was said that it would end in June of last year, but then it was extended until December 31, 2023. Finally, and to the joy of public transport users, the Community of Madrid decided to extend the discount on the pass for another year.
Thanks to this reduction, it is possible to continue recharging or renewing our Transport Card much cheaper than usual. Below, we explain when these discounts end and how you can benefit from them from your mobile.

How to recharge your Transport Card from your mobile
Although there is a ‘Virtual Transport Card’ app to carry the Multi card in virtual format on your phone, it is still in the testing phase. Therefore, here we are going to stick with another official app from the CRTM (Madrid Regional Transport Consortium) that is used to check the remaining trips on a card and recharge it .
